The Democritus & Gunboat Weapons

[Commissar]

The Democritus is a strange beast of a ship. I love the look of it, but I'm confused as to what exactly I'm meant to do with that one gunboat hardpoint. The ship lacks the core to so much as fire a gunboat missile (which would seem like a rational weapon to me when I've only got one hard-point to use), and a single pulse cannon'll just about empty the core in one shot (forever shattering my dreams of running around pretending to main-gun things). Regular weapons aren't too much better, and tend to eat through that power core too quickly to be worthwhile forgoing another transport turret that could fire for much longer.

How do you ladies and gents use the Democritus? Am I doing something terribly wrong here?
